Praying for Clean

"It starts like a thief in the night and then turns into a constant visitor at our family table. Over time, it takes over."

Tricia Jacobson and her sister Pam grow up in a close-knit family in rural Missouri. But when their parents divorce, the once inseparable sisters take very different paths-Pam, the star student and athlete, begins to spiral into addiction, while Tricia learns to bury her emotions and press forward.

While Pam fights a devastating battle with drugs, mental illness, and self-destruction, Tricia watches helplessly as her sister loses everything-her future, her safety, and even the ability to care for herself.

Through heartbreak and resilience, Tricia builds a life of her own, navigating love and loss along the way. But her story is forever intertwined with Pam's. When Pam becomes pregnant, she asks Tricia to adopt her baby. It's a chance for a new life, a new beginning-but Pam's struggles are far from over.

As Tricia fights for her sister, she discovers her true purpose: to advocate for those society too often forgets.

A powerful memoir of sisterhood, survival, and second chances, Praying for Clean is a deeply moving testament to the unbreakable bond of family.
